No Bake Tahini Date Stars

An all natural, cool and easy treat. Yes, sometimes we eat healthy snacks!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup melted organic coconut oil

1/2 cup smooth tahini

1 tbsp pure maple syrup

1 cup chopped dates, packed

pink himalayan salt (optional)

sesame seeds (optional)

Soak the chopped dates in enough hot water to cover for 30 minutes, then drain well and press the extra water out.

Mix the tahini, coconut oil and maple syrup together and pour into forms. The original recipe called for 9 silicone muffin liners but I have 4 - 4" stars that worked. Use whatever you have...even empty yogurt cups might work! Put the forms on a tray and freeze about 10 minutes or until set.

In a food processor process the dates until smooth. You could add a little salt. Spread over the hardened tahini. You could leave them as is or sprinkle a little pink himalayan salt and sesame seeds on top.
